Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the diverse landscapes across Southeast Asia and China, featuring the spectacular Japanese Alps and a prime view of Mount Fuji during the final approach phase.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Annamite Range

Dense, rugged mountain forests spanning the borders of Laos and Vietnam.

🌾

Red River Delta

The intricate patchwork of agricultural lands and waterways surrounding Hanoi.

🏙️

Pearl River Delta

A glimpse of the massive urban sprawl including Guangzhou and Shenzhen from high altitude.

🌋

Kyushu Mountains

Volcanic peaks and dramatic ridges as the flight enters Japanese airspace.

🗻

Mount Fuji

The iconic snow-capped peak is often visible to the north during the descent into the Kanto region.

Book a window seat on the left for the best chance to spot Mount Fuji roughly 30 to 45 minutes before landing. Clear morning flights are ideal as afternoon clouds frequently obscure the mountain. Keep your camera ready as you pass over the Japanese Alps for stunning high-altitude terrain photos.

Right Side Highlights
6.7
🌊

Gulf of Martaban

The unique silty waters where the Irrawaddy and Sittaung rivers meet the sea shortly after takeoff.

🏖️

Hainan Island

The tropical coastline and high-end resorts of China's southern island province.

🛳️

East China Sea

Vast blue waters dotted with cargo ships navigating one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.

🏝️

Izu Islands

A chain of volcanic islands stretching south into the Pacific Ocean from Tokyo Bay.

🌅

Pacific Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the sunrise or sunset depending on the flight schedule.

The right side is perfect for those who enjoy serene ocean views and a spectacular sunrise on overnight departures. During the final approach to NRT, look out for the scenic coastline of the Boso Peninsula. This side typically experiences less direct sun glare on flights heading northeast in the afternoon.
